New FORD Maverick truck What the F***

[DC-DD]

Saw one at the cruise night we were at last night. Who at Ford comes up with these ideas ?? Use another name for whatever that thing is BUTT ugly . Its as bad as the Mach e MUSTANG USE a different name for another BUTT ugly car.

Its as bad a  Car guy who has cars that get 10 miles to the gallon high octane / race fuel voting for the party that wants to end fossil fuel

Something must be awry with their design team. This is usually what you get when promotions are not based on merit and ability. We pay the price through the entire strata of society.  Mediocrity reigns free when everyone gets a participation trophy.  Our not so distant predecessors would be appalled at what they would see today.  And amazed too regarding tech. But appalled for other reasons that I need not articulate and we all mostly know.

I think the leadership at Ford is due for a complete top down overhaul. The CEO is not qualified for his job and his decisions reflect that.

Yea when i saw it i was a little confused why,i mean didn't  they just came out with a midsize PU with the Ranger

The reuse of existing names to me seems like they are lazy . Playing it safe so they do not pick a name that may offend someone.
That new Mach E Mustang should then have been named the EXP that is a safe name they could have reused .
That new Maverick look  is just a Honda Ridgeline design with a squared off Ford treatment.

This is how it looks to me also. The CEO looks more like a suicide/murder pact leader then anything else.

It's one thing to have "vision". It's an entirely different thing to lead the company into a desert mirage.

Suicide/ murder pact leader. LOL!  I can see that as well now that you identified it.  Jim Jones juice anyone?

Certain elements in society simply do not want to hear or read such information.  They don't live in reality.

I think you are misguided in thinking product decisions are driven by consumer desire or historical trends!

Now corporate leadership, board of directors and Wall Street are all woke and driven by progressive ideology.

I recently had to listen to a half hour sermon on corporate vision by a CEO of a very well known global corporation in the transportation industry and it was more like a "tent revival meeting" than a corporate presentation of it's future plans.

"It is the existential crisis of our generation to make hard commitments to solving the climate crisis before we permanently destroy the planet!"

CEO of Blackrock investments, Fink, " Access to the financial market is a privilege not a right!".

If a corporation doesn't have a diversity exec at VP level or higher, or they don't have a "conforming EV, Green, or environmental commitment" then they may not be given access to the financial market, = they will be financially choked off and die.

"You MUST conform to the progressive agenda or die" is what now drives the global corporate world.

It is sad but it is increasingly apparent that is the new reality!

So it's no surprise to see what products are being shipped to the dealers. Your opinion doesn't matter !

E-dsel came to mind when I saw it. Judging from the number I've seen on the road others have the same low opinion.

I doubt there is anyone at Ford that was alive when the Maverick was made.

That's what I thought too - it was even Green, and there was a "Ranger" model that would have inference to the battery/distance game.
